Plan for more like 10 or 15 minutes, just 'cause of traffic. You're gong to go south on Moreland Ave (Star Bar's right there on Moreland) for 2 miles til you hit the interstate, I-20. Go right (west) for just a few exits 'til you hit downtown. From there - damn, I kinda find it by feel from there! But the gang at the Star Bar can give you exact instructions once you reach downtown.

But remember that TV's closes pretty dang early, beFORE you'll get offstage. Make it your dinner/post soundcheck stop, I'd avise, unless you're playing a really early show. (Call ahead - see the "Finding Tiki" post on Atlanta TV's for the phone number.)

I wish SO much I could be there for your show, Tweedtone! Not only 'cause I want to see your cool sounding band, but because the Star Bar was HOME for me, and because it would be fun to take you to my beloved formerly-local Trader Vic's!

So you'll just have to get out to Texas again!

Oh, and the Nick (Birmingham) is a hole. But it used to be my hole-away-from-home. Many a "fond" memory: my guitarist getting jumped while walking outside, Rev. Horton Heat passing out while worshipping the porcelain goddess, thus blocking the door to get him out, Baron ("the Evil Twin") baring his hairy ass onstage after our Hillbilly show, - the list goes on...
